It wasn’t until the beginning of February that I did hear back from her; telling me how she wasn’t ignoring me and that she was taking a break from looking for a relationship at the moment with her life being ‘up in the air’.

I’ve never been very outgoing, in the social sense and, like a lot of people, I’m just so very lonely at times.

Especially in the winter, when it’s cold most days and we see very little daylight.
